The ThinkGeek Newsletter!

Last holiday ever?

We had to chuckle when a spam email reminded us that the Mayans predicted we'll be outta here before the holly daze of 2012. If that's the case, ThinkGeek is prepared! We're ready to rock your under-tree zone with gifts for fans of Star Wars, Portal, and bonsai kitties.

And zombie fans, don't fret. The Walking Dead is gone until February, but we have plenty of undead for you here.

What's New at ThinkGeek!

This R2-D2 wants nothing more than to help you comfortably sit while on the go. He'll go camping, or to fan conventions, or to watch the fireworks on the 4th of July. We don't recommend bringing him to Hoth unless you're going to go ice fishing or something; he's more of a warm weather droid. This fully licensed Lucasfilm collectible is only found at ThinkGeek!Star Wars R2-D2 Folding Armchair - Droids love to support humans

Before Aperture Science became a worldwide leader in science, they were a worldwide leader in shower curtains. In fact, the majority of Cave Johnson's wealth was amassed thanks to contracts with the U.S. military to provide shower curtains to military bases. This shower curtain, while emblazoned with the Aperture Science logo, probably isn't radioactive, but just in case, you may want to wear lead underpants. Your choice.Aperture Laboratories Shower Curtain - Salt. Asbestos. Curtain.

Here at ThinkGeek we love memes and kittehs equally. Since a real Bonsai Kitty would be cruel, we have created the amazing Bonsai Kitty Plush. This cuddly kitty comes direct from Dr. Chang's lab and wants to live at your house, dorm room, or office. Please do not free him from the jar! In his distorted shape, he is no longer able to exist in the outside world. Instead give him love and accept him as a beautiful consequence of human ingenuity and moral breakdown.Bonsai Kitty - An ancient meme brought to life

Unfortunately, there's no scouting program that teaches you how to be prepared for adult situations. You know what we mean. What happens when you're at your favorite fan convention, gaming and schmoozing, and someone whips out a bottle of something delicious? You, geek friend, will be prepared if you have the collapsible shot glass on your person. Just pop it open and you're ready to imbibe just over 2 ounces of whatever liquid heaven is being poured. When you're done, rinse it out and pop it closed again.Collapsible Shot Glass - Be prepared!

Ever look at the back windows of other people's cars and think you could do better than cutesy family stickers? Is your family more hardcore? Are they the kind of folks who would double-tap you if you were bitten by a zombie? Show your pride in your family with these Zombie Family Car Decals. They're black and white and red all over and include the whole gang: Mom, Dad, Daughter, Son, Baby, Dog, Cat, and Fish.Zombie Family Car Decals - The family that shambles together

Here at ThinkGeek, we're bringing the magic back to mealtime. What's more magical than a pair of tiny unicorns with overgrown horns? Turning them upside down and using them to eat your favorite Asian foods, that's what! They'll even stand on their tiny hooves to prevent your chopsticks from touching the table. Magical and considerate, those unicorns.Unicorn Chopsticks - For a magical mealtime

And we really mean old school. Not like your parents had, but like, say, Christopher Columbus had around a million years ago when he visited North America for the first time. Seriously, though, this is pure chocolate, the finest organic Ecuadorian cacao you'll find. Melt it, mix it with the cacao butter and agave nectar (for sweetness), and pour into the mold. Once it cools and hardens, you'll have a chocolate bar just like folks were enjoying over 3,000 years ago. Chocolate is magical. Treat yourself to some pure and delicious chocolaty history today!DIY Chocolate Bar Kit - Old school chocolate bar

Pac-Man is a most unwanted house guest. He'll wander your halls at night, eating everything in his path, and when you're out of food, he moves on to the next house. Tell him he's not welcome with one of these Ghost Lamps. They have a built-in light sensor, so when the yellow pizza creature leaves his bedroom to raid your pantry, they'll glow bright to scare him off. Keep your domicile safe from the wokka-wokka of doom!Ghost Lamps - Protect your home from Pac-Man!

If there's anything The Walking Dead has taught us, it's that we need to have all our apocalypse supplies in one location. Then we won't be raiding stores and getting into sticky situations with zombies and the daughter of the guy who is graciously letting us squat on his farm. This kit includes dozens of useful items, including "Caution: Zombie Outbreak Zone" tape, warning signs, hazard stickers, toe tags for the bodies, a "bite kit," and much more.Zombie Survival Kit - Are you prepared?

You know what this Lite Brite will be great for? Snow days when you have no power, which depending on your utility company, could be a lot of days. This Lite Brite runs on batteries so your kids' artwork can double as a source of light! With 300 colorful pegs and 4 surfaces, the Lite Brite Four Share Cube is perfect for families with multiple wee artistes. Just plunk the cube in the middle of the table and let each kiddo have a side.Four Shared Cube Lite Brite - Snow day fun for the family

Weeping angels are scary, but at least you can remember not to blink! When you look away from a Silent, you forget it was ever there. The Doctor and his friends use the Nanorecorder to help them remember their encounters with these creatures. Of course, this Nanorecorder won't actually inject a glowing red thing into your palm. (Pesky FDA told us we couldn't!) But it will light up and record and play back your own note!Doctor Who Nanorecorder - Conquer the Silence!

We can't decide if this is a hat, a hood, a mask, or all of the above. What do you think? Either way, we think it would look spiffy as a Halloween costume, a cold weather accessory for kids at heart, or a headpiece to let your bosses Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde know exactly where they can find that TPS report you filed last week.Plush Pac Man Hat - Be the man. Pac-Man.

When we think of pocket watches, we often think of old relics carried by old men. And we suppose that Time Lords are "old men" in the sense that they are 900+ years old. When a Time Lord wants to hide, all he need do is use the Chameleon Arch and store his memories and biology in a fob watch. This is a very spiffy recreation of the watch that The Master was stored in when he was living life as Professor Yana. Open it up and press the button for an out of this world nightlight feature.Doctor Who Master's Pocket Watch - You are not alone

Bacon Croutons are about to change the salad game. Remember the revelation you had when you realized that salads could be a vehicle for ranch dressing? You're about to have a similar life-changing experience. And don't limit yourself to salad! Bacon Croutons are great on soup, crushed up on top of baked macaroni and cheese, as breading for fried chicken, and of course, used in your favorite Thanksgiving stuffing recipe. Bacon on, friends!Bacon Croutons - Salads just got cool

Disc launchers have been around for quite some time--really, since someone first thought to throw a plate at someone else. But trust NERF to take disc launchers to the next level. This Vortex Disc Blaster (code named: Vigilon) is just what you need to lay down some disc-y fire in a hurry. The magazine opens right on the side, so not only can you run and gun, but you can reload on the fly. And it's not just a little pew pew. Nope, this Vortex Disc Blaster will shoot them over 40 feet! No more thinking--the other side is massing their troops. Equip yourself now, soldier!NERF Vortex Disc Blaster - Fire fast, fire far

If you have to go to work in a stuffy button-up, you're in good Time Lord company. Christopher Eccelston's is the only Doctor so far who's escaped without a collared shirt. Here's something for casual Fridays or for those of you who get to do business casual every day. Drop the corporate logo polos in favor of something that lets a little of your geek shine through.Doctor Who Polo Shirts - Business Casual Fun

We think Sheldon would approve of this Bazinga! Blanket with Sleeves. It obviates the necessity for two separate objects, a robe and a blanket, which are basically both there for the same purpose - your comfort and warmth. Bazinga, indeed. Bazinga! Blanket with Sleeves
